Initiatives grateful to all of you in our funded by IPEI’s grants deepen engagement in learning and community who believe enrich each student’s learning experiences. IPEI was founded in public education and by an incredibly dedicated and inspired group of community IPEI’s role. Strong public leaders who led and operated the organization for more than 17 schools are so important years. I am very energized by the hard work of IPEI’s founders for our kids, our families, and look forward to working with all of you to carry that legacy our businesses, and our forward into the future. whole community. Community support through IPEI’s capital campaign has enabled us to hire our first ever director and open an Christine Sanchirico office! Christine Sanchirico, Executive Director, joins Julie Executive Director, IPEI Langenbacher, Administrative and Program Associate. The addition of staff helps us build a sustainable structure for the future including much needed support for our many volunteers. Annual Fund gifts to IPEI ensure a broad range of grants, programs, and other initiatives that engage students in WHO do we learning and awaken their imaginations. In fact, working with teachers and others who received grants last year, we undertook an evaluation of “student engagement” that ENGAGE and showed measurable differences after the funded activity.

    TompkinsECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT County STRATEGY 2015-2020 LETTER FROM LEADERSHIP Tompkins County’s 2015-2020 Economic Development (ED) Strategy is our third economic development strategy. It was developed by TCAD with contributions from diverse stakeholders. We embarked on this effort in order to take a fresh look at the County’s overarching strengths and challenges, and to renew our strategic approach to economic vitality. The process reached for broad input, and paused for self-reflection and depth of consideration. The results include vision and values statements, three high-level goals, and a commitment to excellence in our economic development programs as well as a commitment to proactive leadership that advances achievement. The Economic Development Strategy will contribute to a thriving economy through public and private investment; business development, retention and expansion; and workforce development that creates access to quality careers for local residents. Having completed the written strategy, the real work of achieving this vision of economic opportunity can begin. Let’s work together improving economic conditions to improve people’s lives.

  • Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research
    BTI TBoyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research 2004 WhatT is BTI? Since 1924, the non-profit Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research has explored the principles underlying our food supply and environment, with the ultimate goal of improving human lives. Located on the campus of Cornell University, BTI also promotes plant science education and strives toward environmental responsibility. T Letter from the President BTI is fortunate to have a dedicated staff and active group of emeritus faculty. We owe much to them, including a flower-filled atrium that warms us through the winter months; a newly renovated plant growth facility; state-of- the-art apparatus for the analysis of proteins, metabolites, and gene structure, and effective administrative support for researchers. Our emeriti serve on committees, help preserve BTI’s history, and participate in a variety of research or public service projects. As president, I am immensely proud of both the accomplishments and potential of the institute and its David Stern with undergraduate intern Mabel Thomas staff, students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty. I invite you to explore the remainder of this report, as well as our Web site, to learn how BTI scientists are carrying on the mission borne of Colonel William Boyce Thompson. BTIhistory began in Yonkers, New York, in 1924, when doors opened on Colonel William Boyce — David Stern Thompson’s dream: a research institute dedicated to exploring the secrets of plant life. The 80 years since are remembered and represented by hundreds of photo- graphs, scientific articles, commercial products, and both living and written narrative. Were he among us today, the Colonel would have much to be proud of.

Received: 5 November 2013; in revised form: 2 December 2013 / Accepted: 13 December 2013 / Published: 16 December 2013 Abstract: Rich-sensor smart phones have made possible the recent birth of the mobile sensing research area as part of ubiquitous sensing which integrates other areas such as wireless sensor networks and web sensing. There are several types of mobile sensing: individual, participatory, opportunistic, crowd, social, etc. The object of sensing can be people-centered or environment-centered. The sensing domain can be home, urban, vehicular… Currently there are barriers that limit the social acceptance of mobile sensing systems. Examples of social barriers are privacy concerns, restrictive laws in some countries and the absence of economic incentives that might encourage people to participate in a sensing campaign. Several technical barriers are phone energy savings and the variety of sensors and software for their management. Some existing surveys partially tackle the topic of mobile sensing systems.
